The best product for weak, broken, chipping and peeling nails is Nail Magic Nail Hardener. I get it at Sally Beauty Supply and nothing I have used works like this. I reapply every other day or so, it dries quickly and leaves your nails shiny. It is approx $9 a bottle so it’s not as much about the money as it is that it WORKS.

At the age of 15, I refused to rake antidepressants because I did think it would change my thinking and essentially make me a different person. After taking them I realized that is not true at all. In fact, it revealed to me who I was and could be. No, it wasn’t a magic cure, and it still took (and takes) willpower and positive thinking, but it aided me by making it easier to overcome negative and obsessive thoughts.
So if you are hesitant to take them due to the belief it will change you and your thoughts (which you may feel are important), think of the medication like a bouncer at a club, who lets in cool, positive people instead of depressed assholes. He opens the door to let in the good thoughts that are already there to begin with, but just had no way to get in.
But you still have to do work yourself, pushing yourself to keep moving and staying productive.

While at a friends parents’ house, I was cold and wanted a blanket, but was hesitant to take a fancy one from a perfect pile. My friend reassured me it was okay by saying, “Don’t worry, it’s refoldable.”
